Chevrolet Silverado HD Review

Above all else, your truck needs to be ready to unleash intense power. Whether you’re going around to pick up equipment in town or heading off the asphalt to get to a far-away jobsite, the Silverado HD is equipped to handle it.

A Look Under the Hood

The Silverado HD comes with two available engines to help you conquer whatever lies ahead. The standard combustion motor and the available turbo-diesel engine are each designed to help you reach your goals and get more done. Thanks to obsessive mechanical design, each one is prepared to roar to life.

Using Your Power

Of course, there’s more to a truck’s engineering than just its engine. The Silverado HD uses a standard Allison® 10-speed automatic transmission to make efficient gear shifts that keep up with your demands. The electronically controlled system includes a Tow/Haul mode and Auto Grade Braking to keep your travels safer, too.

Standard 2-wheel drive provides a predictable and easy-to-command drive for whatever road conditions you come across. If you’re going off the beaten path, available 4-wheel drive will help you gain more traction to go even farther.

Now that you see the intensity at work in the Silverado HD, you may wonder what you can do with it. The answer is simple: You’ll be ready to take on whatever heavy-duty tasks come your way.

Towing More

When you have lots of gear to transport, you’ll need to rely on a trailer that can handle it all, as well as a truck that can tow it along. The Silverado HD is made for those demanding days—it’s ready to help you bring all kinds of gear with you.?

When properly equipped, the Silverado HD can tow up to 36,000 pounds of trailer weight. That opens up tons of possibilities—literally. You can confidently tow all sorts of equipment:

• Campers
• Heavy machinery
• Boats
• Off-road vehicles
• Other vehicles

Haul It All

You’ll have two bed lengths for your Silverado HD; each one offers lots of room to load in tools, materials, and other everyday cargo. The standard bed offers 69.5 cubic feet of volume, while the long bed features 83.5 cubic feet.

When properly equipped, you can load in up to 7,234 pounds of payload weight into your truck bed. You can easily load all your stuff and secure it for transport to wherever life has you going next.

We’ve all heard it before: It’s what’s on the inside that counts. This is exactly the case with the Silverado HD—there are all sorts of design elements that make your drive worth looking forward to.

Get Comfortable

From the moment you climb into the cabin, you’ll find forward-thinking design at work. The available 10-way power driver seat with lumbar support lets you find your ideal position before those long hauls. The addition of available dual-zone climate control lets you and your passenger adjust to your preferences for a more relaxing drive as well.

If you’re looking for added convenience, the available USB charge ports and 120-volt power outlet give you options to stay charged. Whether it's your passenger’s phone or some power tools, you can keep them at 100% battery power with ease.?

High-Tech Features

Along with convenience, the cabin offers plenty of state-of-the-art technology to enjoy. The available 13.4-inch centrally located touchscreen is your gateway to all kinds of systems. Simply connect your phone through Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™, and you can stay in touch with contacts, review messages, and more. Other additional features include:
